Germ an Advance.


The extraordinary martial successes
of Germany, the immense efforts she
has made to maintain her military su-
premacy, and the exorbitant burdens
to which she has submitted for the
purpose of keeping up her colossal
standing army have caused the outside
world, and especially the English
world, to lose sight of the great pro-
gress she has made of late rs a com
mefcial and industrial community.
This progress can only be compared
TO that made by France under
the Second Empire, while it has
this signal advantage, that it is
in the main result of individual enter
prise, not of State iniatiye and impulse.
The industrial development of Ger
many has proceeded pari passu with her
military aggrandzement; and when
ever she is relieved from the dread of
immediate attack, which, with or with
out reason, is her dominant thought mt
the present moment, as it has been ever
since the late war, her policy will
necessarily be directed by COM
mercial rather than strategical con-
siderations. Germany has all the cOndi-
tioDs required for the creation OF
great mercantile community. She has
a large and working population,
a central position her people have the
trading and cOlO.izing instinct her
merchants have established themselves
successfully i'll all parts of the globe.
All that she requires to become first
class mercantile power is free ac-
cess to the sea and the command
of n large searfaIing pOpun-
ton. Given these conditions, 1t is
not difficult to foretell that Ger
many, if she retains her military Sill
prcmacy, will not rest content without
having better sea6oard than she at
present possesses. Sooner or later the
Austrian ports on the Mediterranean
will probably be made available for the
extension and development of German
trade. This object could, how
ever, be attained without the need
of any territorial changes, pro-
vided Austria could bo induced to
enter the German Customs Union.
1t is enough for my present purpose
TO say that Trieste may, and will probl-
bly,, be converted into German port
without any necessity for resort to
arms. 1t is. however, TO the west rather
than to the south that Germany must
look for the real extension of her trade.
The Baltic ports are unavailable for
winter traffic. Hamburg and Bremen lie
too much to the north and too far from
the sea. The natural outlets of German
trade are the ports Of Holland and
Belgium. In order TO avoid being mis-
understood, let me say, once for all,
that am not finding excuses for, still
less advocating, the possible annexation
OF Belgium and Holland by Germany.
My wish is to point out what are the
objects the various great Powers may
reasonably have in view in any revision
of the map of Europe. From this
standpoint fail TO see how any Impair
tial observer can dispute the statement
that the acquisition of Holland or Bel
GUM or both countries must be an
object of desire to Germany.

BIG CATTLE SUIT.
Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
wanted by Scottish Investors.
by telegraph to the Dispatch.l

lBy telegraph to the Dispatchl
CHICAGO. July 15.-A suit for $780,
600 was begun in the United States
Court this morning by the Swan Land
Cattle Company, Limited, of Edin-
burgh, through their solicitors, against
Alexander II. Swan and Thomas Swan,
of Cheyenne, and others. In 1888 the
Swan and Frank Livestock Company,
the National Company, and the Swan
Frank-Anthony Cattle Company, com
posed of the aboye-named parties, were
grazing cattle over ranges in Wyoming
Territory. These corporations joined
with James Wilson, of Edinburgh, and
sold out for S2,5j3, 825 to the Swan
Land and Cattle Company, which Will
son had worked up among Scottish
capitalists, among them being Lord
Douglas Gordon and Colin j. Nc
Konzie. The complaint alleges that
the purchasers relied upon the false
representations of Alexander III. Swan,
upon untried inventories of cattle,
and upon reports OF one Thomas
Lawson, an agent in the pay of the sell
llR tOIilIltnltS. 4 ut tOlu D4hllidul oiNo
tina. instead of SO, 1877 head of cattle, as
represented, there were no more than
10000, and that in many other respects
were the inventories which were shown
them untrue. In making the sale the
colIplsinant says Swan represented
that the number of calves from the
herds would equal 2,62S, while, in
fact, there were only 1000. The COM
plainant asks $500, 900, which they say
would only about cover the loss they
sustained.
The suit brought to-day is the sequel
of the failure OF the firm of Swan
Brothers, of Cheyenne, a few weeks
ago. 1t was then announced that the
Swan Land ands Cattle Company would
be in no way affected, but it is known
that Immediately after the Swan
Brothers failure some of the Scotch
directors of the cattle company hurried
to this country, and it is supposed that
the suit brought to-day is the result OF
their inyt situations.

ILopERs BATTLING THE LAW.
A Couple from Holland Land In Jer.
sey city and Evadc the Police.

isN'N AVN AAfONh'-J
Three passengers on tie Red-Star
steamer Westernland, which arrived at
her pier i'll jersey City about 3 o'clock
yesterday morning, created consid-
cradle excitement in official circles
and engaged the undivided atten-
ton for about forty-eight hours
Of o number of reporters, lawyers,
detectives, and others. Interest
in the party was aroused by dispatch
sent 10y the Minister of Foreign Affairs
in Holland TO the Dutch Consul in
New York informing him that the wife
Of joseph Van Heyst, Of Boxtel, near
Antwerp, lad eloped with Jules Van
DooreD, a linen-manufacturer of the
same place, and that the couple had
taken with them Elsa Van Heyst, aged
three, and 80, 600 forms, together with
a quantity of jewelry. Consul Plantin
was also instructed that the Holland
Government desired the detention Of
the party.
Consul Plantin employed lawyers,
and the machinery Of the law was put
in operation. Assistance was asked of
Chief-of-Police Murphy, and he put
Detectives Dalton and Pearson on the
case. The Westernland came up the
barber on Wednesday night and an
chorcd in the stream. She was
boarded by . number Of officers and
others interested in the case, and Van
DoOren and his companions were found
to be registered under the names OF
Jean j. Nerdongen, wife and child.
For some reason they were not mo-
Tested
Tie steamer was hauled into her
dock about ) A. NJ, and three hours
later the three went to Taylors Hotel.
They remained in the hotel until about
noon, when a carriage was called and
they were driven to the New jersey
Central naturalization at Communi-
paw. Counsellor i. S. Cowles ac-
companicd them. At 410 ,. NJ.
they took way train, but their
destination could not be ascer-
tanned. They left their baggage on
the steamer, and during the day an at
tachment was placed on the trunk con
tanning the jewelry. The lawyers who
are acting for the Dutch Government
seemed to be completely baflled. Sew
eral schemes for OBTAINING the clippers
were suggested. but they were all
abandoned. No complaint could
be made on which IA warrant for
their arrest could be issued. Chief-of
Police Murphy says the case was
spoiled through somebody's stupidity.
Marshal Bernhard, of New York,
boarded the steamer while she lay at
anchor in the stream, and it seems
that Van Dooren learned from him
that the officers of the law were on his
track. When Van Dooren landed i'll
Jersey City and placed the woman and
child in Taylors Hotel he sought
lawyer, who Informed him that neither
he nor his companion could be ar
rested.
In the mean time Counsellors Fisk
and Albeit, who were acting for Con-
sui Plantin, were endeavoring to get a
writ Of haJcaS corpus to secure pos
session of the child, but before they
could get the necessary papers the
party had gone away. A detective
went on the train with them.

The Grimes DiIi in ihe House of
IOrds

!By anglo. American cable to the Dispatch
LONDON, July 15.-The crimes bill
was discussed in committee in the
House OF Lords tonight.
Lord Northbrook QiberaD expressed
surprise at the summary disposal of the
DEBATE ON the bill yesterday. Be
fore proceeding further with Irish
legislation he urged the party leader.
to give the country definite answers on
four points Were Irish members to
remain in Westminster Was the pro
vince of Ulster to be treated separately
from the rest of Ireland? Was the
duty to maintain law and order to be
intrusted to an Irish Parliament Was
the power over land to be committed
to an Irish Parliament!
Lord Roseberry LiberaD held that
the discussion of these points was out
side the scope of the crimes bill. The
Liberal peers, he said, were in hope
less minority, and could do no more
than protest against the bill. In con
Guiding he said he felt bound to warn
The Government of the effect OF the
measure. Their administration in Ire
land would have to be continued III a
state of siege.
After a further brief discussion the
bill was passed in committee without
amendment. The bill will be read a
third time on Monday.

his own room, which has been de-

that a valuable collection of old wood
carvings had been added to it. The
epilogue to the history of this house is
that its owner died before it was
